Once upon a time the Ed McCuin Estate donated money to BFA-Fairfax for the construction of dugouts on the school baseball field. That vision has finally become reality. A reality that has been expanded to include both baseball and softball dugouts thanks to the generous support of interested community members and area businesses. A very special thanks goes to Mark Irish who spearheaded the project and gave many hours of his time in completing this project. From all of us at BFA-Fairfax, we offer a heart felt thank you to the late Ed McCuin and the entire McCuin family and to the following individuals and businesses:
